Hi everyone,<\/p>\n
Here are the changes we have made from receiving the results from our AAHA inspection:<\/p>\n
*Wipe down the pill counters after each time.\u00a0 There are baby wipes on the pill counter countertop to use to wipe them down.<\/p>\n
*We have secured the Proin and Gabapentin.\u00a0 They are now in the safe along with the other controlled drugs.<\/p>\n
*There are CE Tracker forms in the hospital policy book under the Training\/CE tab.\u00a0 There is a CE Tracker form for each of you with your name on it.\u00a0 It is your responsibility to log all your CE yourselves.\u00a0 You need to log everything!\u00a0 Conferences, lunch and learns, seminars, reading, etc.\u00a0 I have logged everything up to the inspection.\u00a0 Log anything that you have done after that point.<\/p>\n
*Write down what the pet is eating at each appointment.<\/p>\n
*Sarah has made an anesthetic machine maintenance log.\u00a0 Please use that log for all maintenance, changing sodasorb, weighing f-air cannisters, etc.\u00a0 It is in the Housekeeping Binder under the autoclave. Thank you Sarah!<\/p>\n
*We no longer have to keep a radiology log!!\u00a0 Yay! You can still print out the xray label and use that to input all your info into the xray software and stick the label on our sheets we have been using but you don’t need to write anything down.\u00a0 When\u00a0registering the pet’s info into the software please add your initials under comments.\u00a0 Tht way our software will be our log from here on out.<\/p>\n
*There are new safety posters hung in surgery and radiology.<\/p>\n
*There is now a map of our emergency action plan hanging on the kennel door along with all the other posters.\u00a0 A written version of our EAP is in our binder under workplace safety.<\/p>\n
*Please initial every entry into the patient’s charts.\u00a0 If you write in a chart….put your initials after what you have written.<\/p>\n
*Buprenex and metacam need to go home in a 60 dram pill vial.\u00a0 They can not go home in a plastic baggy!!\u00a0 Preventatives can still go home in a baggy because they are still in their original packaging.<\/p>\n
*Each patient needs their own admittance sheets, cage cards, treatment plans, etc. even if they are in the same family.\u00a0 A client may have a dnr for one pet but not for the other, etc.<\/p>\n
*Please be careful of your conversations with other team members.\u00a0 Clients can hear all conversations that are happening in the lab and sometimes even in the back.\u00a0 Please try to stop all idle conversations if we have all exam rooms full and people waiting up front.\u00a0\u00a0If we are that busy please have your conversations with team members during lunch, after work or during\u00a0down time.\u00a0 Our first priority is getting our client and patients needs met!\u00a0 Please also be conscious of interrupting or joining a conversation that you are not a part of.\u00a0 Sometimes there are conversations going on and it\u00a0can add confusion and\/or frustration if another person takes part.<\/p>\n
*We have been extremely busy!\u00a0 We\u00a0are still on the look\u00a0out for another employee!\u00a0 Please try to prioritize tasks and keep time management in mind!\u00a0 If all rooms and lobby are full and you are doing a discharge in the kitchen then we are BUSY!!!
